Coloured bath resurfacing in Portmellon, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Portmellon
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Portmellon. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Portmellon. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Portmellon
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Repair or replace in Portmellon?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Portmellon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
